Iran: Israel will regret Syria air strike

Iran warned Israel Monday that it would “regret” its air strike against Syria last week, without spelling out whether Iran or its ally planned any military response.

“They will regret this recent aggression,” Said Jalili, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, told a news conference in Damascus, a day after holding talks there with President Bashar Assad.

Jalili likened Israel’s alleged attack on a military compound northwest of Damascus on Wednesday to previous conflicts, including the Second Lebanon War in 2006.

“Today, too, both the people and the government of Syria are serious regarding the issue. And also the Islamic community is supporting Syria,” he said.
